Ore Revolution [FORGE & FABRIC]
Minecraft's underground is about to get a whole lot more interesting. If you have ever mined a vein of coal and wished it dropped something more exciting, or if you have ever needed a specific food item but found yourself far from a farm, then Ore Revolution [FORGE & FABRIC] is the mod you have been waiting for. This clever add-on transforms the classic mining experience by introducing a variety of new ores that yield items, materials, and even food when broken.
Instead of just giving you another set of decorative blocks, this mod focuses on utility and survival convenience. You will find ores that drop everything from arrows and gunpowder to apples and cooked porkchops. It is a simple concept, but one that dramatically changes how you approach resource gathering in the Overworld, the Deep, and the Nether.
What Does the Ore Revolution Add?
The core of Ore Revolution [FORGE & FABRIC] is its diverse range of new ore blocks. These are not just re-textured versions of existing ores; they are designed to give you specific rewards that fit your playstyle. The mod is broken down into three main categories of ore, ensuring that there is something valuable for every type of player.
Item Ores
These are the workhorses of the mod, providing you with essential materials without the need for complex crafting or dangerous exploration. You can find ores that drop:
- Arrows and Bows
- Blaze Powder and Bones
- Ender Pearls and Eyes of Ender
- Fireworks and Gunpowder
- Hearts of the Sea and Nautilus Shells
- Nether Stars and Phantom Membranes
- Paper, Quartz, and String
- Scutes, Slimeballs, and Sugar Cane
Log and Stem Ores
Need wood but are stuck in a desert or a cave? This mod has you covered. You can find ores that drop entire logs and stems, including Acacia, Birch, Crimson, Dark Oak, Jungle, Oak, Spruce, and Warped variants. This is a fantastic way to get renewable wood sources from the safety of your mining tunnels.
Food Ores
Perhaps the most exciting addition is the food ores. These blocks drop edible items directly, making long mining expeditions much more sustainable. You can mine ores that give you Apples, Cakes, Carrots, Cookies, Enchanted Golden Apples, Melon Slices, Potatoes, Raw Beef, Raw Porkchop, and Raw Salmon.
Configuration and Customization
One of the standout features of Ore Revolution [FORGE & FABRIC] is its deep level of customization. The mod includes three separate configuration files: one for the Overworld, one for the Deep (Deepslate), and one for the Nether. This allows you to tailor the experience to your exact preferences. You can control:
- Whether an ore spawns or not.
- The size of the ore vein.
- The chances of a vein generating.
- The range of height for vein generation.
Remember that changes to the configuration file only take effect after you restart Minecraft, and they will only apply to chunks that have not yet been loaded. This gives you incredible control over how rare or common these new resources are.
Supported Versions and Loaders
The mod is available for both Forge and Fabric loaders, ensuring that most players can enjoy it. For the Ore Revolution [FORGE & FABRIC] for Minecraft 1.18.1, the Forge version allows ores to spawn in the Deep as Deepslate ores, while the Fabric version includes all the same features. For Forge 1.17.1 and 1.16.5, you can expect ores to spawn in the Nether as well. The Fabric version for 1.17.1 also adds new ores for Sugar Cane, Paper, and Leather. It is important to note that for Fabric versions, you will need to download the Fabric API separately.
When you are ready to jump in, you will find that the Ore Revolution [FORGE & FABRIC] for Minecraft is easy to add to your modpack. The developer has also made it simple to help translate the mod into different languages via a public GitHub repository. If you have a specific item or food you would like to see as an ore, the community is encouraged to make requests, as the mod is continuously updated with new additions.
